be an outlier from the rest, but since it
is not labeled, we cannot tell from
which state it originates.

scatter ownhome borninstate,
mlabel(stateab)
We can use the
mlabel(stateab)
to
l
abel all points, which helps us see that
the outlying point comes from
Washington,
DC
. However, this plot is
rather cluttered by all the labels.

(scatter ownhome borninstate if stateab == "DC", mlabel(stateab))
We could repeat a second scatterplot
just to label
DC
, but this is a bit
cumbersome.
